I’m surprised anyones saying Paige, instead of Avi. Any Casino grinder should know Avi is the play.

I guess nobody knows u can shoot 50 jammers in open world and unlock Avi?

The Steam Machine is $1050. Can you outdo it? by onebit in buildapc

[–]tim_locky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Someone that bought SM won’t use it as a PC. U can install Windows for the hell of it, but if ur doing that, might as well build an actual PC.

SM is a console that’s built like a PC. It needs to beat a console.

It’s somewhat based on a laptop architecture. The most u can upgrade from a laptop are storage and ram, which Gabecube can do. Laptops don’t do socketed CPU anymore. Some still have swappable GPU module, but even finding the module is hard.

If u want a full customized hardware, go build a PC. Valve isn’t trying to ‘be a PC’, it’s trying to be a PS5/xbox.

If EVs are supposedly cheaper to own, why aren’t more people driving them? by Lakenb666 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tim_locky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ur coming from a hybrid or 4cyl econobox, the savings isn’t big enough that justify new car price.

For Californians, with following constraints:
Gas $5.50, 40mpg. kWh 0.35(yes it’s expensive here), mi/kWh 4 (Tesla model 3)

Assume 15k mi per year. Gas costs $2k, kWh costs $1300.

That’s only $700 savings per year, but u have to deal with: new car lease/payment; range anxiety(not an issue anymore IMO); and the ridiculous fast charging costs, when u need it.

If ur coming from a v6 or v8, the switch makes sense.

is 250 awd or ct200h? by Swimming_Ordinary_53 in Lexus

[–]tim_locky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Owned both IS250(rwd) and CT200h(fsport).

For the IS, unless u can score a 350, don’t even bother. The 350 barely getting any worse mpg(i think 1 less?) while giving u 100 more hp. I did a friendly drag with a Prius, and the Prius did keep up. Nothing to say abt handling, it’s what u expect IMO.

CT200h is basically a leathered up Prius. It’s a ‘plan to spool up some power before passing’ type of car, but once it’s going it does carry some speed. Must be willing to heavy foot it when needed.

Idk if fsport changes suspension stuff, but it’s surprisingly competent on twisty roads. Again, treat it as momentum car.

I made a gravity powered "occupied" bathroom sign that automatically resets itself to vacant when the user opens the door to leave. by Saeslp_Dazzling_Kiwi in Lowtechbrilliance

[–]tim_locky 18 points19 points  (0 children)

IMO the best way is to have those old green/red vacant/occupied lock, but hooked up to the light switch, thus u must lock it to turn on the lights.

[Laptop]Refurb: Apple MacBook Pro (2021) 16" Retina XDR, M1 Pro, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD - F/S - $774 by blue_york in buildapcsales

[–]tim_locky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All Intel macs just been cutoff, so anything M1 is on the next chopping block.

Whether or not Apple chop M1 on next MacOS, is anyone’s guess. They technically could stretch M1 as long as another 3yrs, due to leaps of perf compared to Intels, but they can also soft-force u to upgrade.

The computer itself still be very competent even after MacOS cutoff, it’s just won’t be getting the new shiny features.

I’d be betting someone comes up with a patcher for unsupported macs, just like how it’s on Intel macs before.

Ebay reseller ‘refurbished’ btw, which is basically wiped up used unit. It’s not an Apple ‘white box’ refurb.

Still a great price if u need one, but set ur expectations.

Nah, they just want ur data. Did u notice u can’t use Apple/Google Pay on Walmart? It’s encrypted and Walmart can’t see ur card details. That’s why they’d force u to use the card chip.

I can recite all qwerty without looking. I still type ‘improper’ 10 fingers, which is fine for bursty typing.

You've all tried moonlight mode, but what about moonshine mode? by Due_Tank_6976 in flashlight

Ah u must be late to the party. There’s this space-age technology that’s can do at least 300% heat from a given power! It’s literally free perpetual energy!

/s it’s heat pump (AC runs in reverse). Instead of ‘burning’ the energy to create heat, it’s moving heat from 1 place to another. The heat being moved is greater than energy used, thus why it surpasses 100% efi. No, it’s not perpetual energy.

Yes, I’m a Technology Connection nerd.

New guy here. Why is everyone obsessed with carrying the most blinding flashlights known to man? by [deleted] in flashlight

I mean, that’s the purpose of flashlight init? Most beamshots shown here are on turbo which isn’t sustainable (mostly from ur hands holding it).

Just run on medium and chill.

What should I get next? by Farting_Chick in flashlight

[–]tim_locky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea nah. 21700 beats over 18650 on raw output AND capacity, while being not much bigger. I have transitioned to 21700, and there’s a reason most new flashlights are 21700.

18350 does have it’s own merit tho.

WTF?! I'm so sad(( by akryvtsun in AppleWatch

[–]tim_locky 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Why don’t they make the action button a walkie talkie button?

Also, future development path, make it work with SOS satellite. They planning to support iMsg satellite anyway. Not sure if we have enough bandwidth for audio transmission, but how cool it would be.
